This area has developed as one of the country’s largest cotton textile producing regions. Nukumori Koubou Craft Center is located in the area that is famous in connection with Orihime and has inherited the traditional fabric “Enshu Men Tsumugi” of Hamamatsu. Ubuginu Shrine dedicated to Orihime (Mikkabi Town, Kita Ward of Hamamatsu City) is known to all Japanese people from the legend of “Tanabata” or the Star Festival. From about 850 years ago (since the end of the Heian period) until now, the silk garments were woven as God’s clothes and dedicated to Kotaijingu (the Inner Shrine) of Ise Shrine every year. Legend tells that Orihime was weaving the silk Tsumugi fabric used for these silk garments (called Onzo). The material has since then changed from silk to cotton and Enshu region has continued to develop into a major cotton textile producing place. Nukumori Koubou Craft Center is a place where “Enshu Men Tsumugi,” the traditional fabric of Hamamatsu, has been inherited.
